Distinguishing features: Rarely revealed she carries scars on each of her wrists where the bones had been broken after both wrists were impaled with iron stakes. At the back of her neck is an intricate archaic design of Kaleb's brand upon her that ever would mark them as bonded.
Relatives: Mother and father both deceased, her mother in childbirth and her father by the woman that took her as a young girl. At this moment she only affiliates family to Krysanthe, while not bound by blood or genes, the younger girl would ever be her sister of Light... along with the recently found sisters to complete their source of power... Teynela and Saphir.
Relationships: Bonded lover and soul-sworn to Kaleb Holliday, magically bonded to Silas Greyshott.
Skills: Shadow Weaver. She has the ability to manipulate shadows and walk through them. A strong ley line witch her powers are ever linked to darker lines within the ever after. Lani while she hides it is a strong empath and extremely vulnerable to the emotions of those around her. A skilled dancer whether it be just a moment's hypnotic allure or a sword dance the woman's body was that meant to move. If anything Lani would be a coy conversationalist that was likely to get her away. Comfortable in her own skin she would use the benefits of beauty and sexuality to get her where she needed to be if it came down to it in the end.
Ever more then met the eye, she also could commune with wolves and ravens or any of the avian birds of prey.

Persona: A dark spark in the light. Enigmatic and alluring. If anything the woman was bewitching and provocative. Hypnotic and sensual to the very core of her being. A diamond in the rough her spirit held hidden depths and dimensions of morose anguish laced with dark flaring determination of survival to the end. Demure tempered and secretive, she was protective and devoted to those that found their way to imprint her soul. If any to know her best they would be Silas, Krysanthe, and of course Kaleb.

The Witch Blade

Origin: The Blade chose her when she came of age amongst the Valendria witches
Form: Your standard battle sword weighed and styled to suit her hand. The blade of the sword was pitch black as if forged for a material akin to obsidian.

History
Lani was taken as a young girl from her father, her mother died in childbirth and one of the ladies of the Valendria witches had learned of the child. Laniandra was selected by the Valendria witches and in order to take her, the Valendria witch seduced Lani's father and kidnapped the young girl.
She was then trained and raised in the nature of the Valendria witches. Though when her gifts and abilities became stronger then that of the Mother of the Three leads of the Valendria clan, her death sentence was called and decreed.
Lani escaped and ended up in Rhy'din. Joining a few guilds and becoming if ever the bewitching presence.
Her time in those years was one of free love, adultery, lust, and desire. One to ever give of her body but not of herself. She allowed her body to become an escape. A device to move her forward. While not pleased with her actions come today, they were all of those that had made her who she was.
Years had passed with Lani to travel the world. It was only a decade later that she would find herself back in Rhy'din. Crucified on a cross and at the proximity of death when she was saved by an unknown male who saved her life in more ways then one. To this day, Laniandra has no idea who saved her.
The Valendria witches now have found a place to claim as their own- abandoned ruins of a dark castle have now been reforged and reconstructed with the power of her magic shared and woven with that of her own 'sisters'.. a place she haunts and inhabits with her soul-sworn, Kaleb and her Sister Light, Krysanthe, her Sister Earth...Teynela...and her Sister of the Sea...Saphir.
